Fourth week in and the magic still hasn’t worn off. I had the pleasure of creating an ad for this year’s AAF-hosted volleyball tournament! It was a little nerve-racking at first to have complete control over what this promotional piece could be . . . I mean, with Photoshop there’s only over a trillion different possibilities . . . no pressure. Luckily, on a whim, I decided to play around with blending modes and ended up with some pretty cool, colorful letters.

I’m also really grateful to have one other creative intern upstairs with me to bounce ideas around with! Emily was also kind enough to draw some type up for the event’s description. The splendid hand-made touch she provided for the promo gave the typography a strong contrast and really pushed it past the finish line! Thanks Emily!

We also got a surprise visit from First Merit’s treat truck! It’s so heartwarming to know that this agency has so many strong relationships with its beloved clients. Every day I walk into the office I’m reminded of how lucky I am to have stumbled into such a perfectly infinite space. My creative spirit feels so nourished, working at a place that makes every member of the team (yes, even the interns) feel comfortable enough to interject their ideas and get their hands dirty in a barrel of brainstorm.

I am excited to lose count of how many beautifully fulfilling days this job has provided me. Thank you Gregg, Tim, Steve, John, Aaron, Kelsey, Autumn, Holly, Heather, Erin, Angela, Zorina, Pat, Mark, Mike, Kelly, Leah, well . . . EVERYONE for making this such a fantastic experience, day in and day out.
